Summer 2025 is shaping up to be all about one thing: creamsicle. The nostalgic blend of orange and smooth vanilla has surged back into the spotlight, finding its way into everything from cocktails to cosmetics. It’s no longer just a popsicle flavor—creamsicle has become the taste of the season, bringing with it a wave of retro comfort and creamy refreshment.
Food & Drink
- Craft Cocktails: Mixologists are creating creamsicle-inspired drinks using orange liqueur, vanilla syrup, and citrus-infused spirits. These cocktails are creamy, citrusy, and often finished with a frothy top for an elevated take on the classic flavor
- Cold Brew & Lattes: Coffee shops are offering creamsicle cold foam lattes—iced espresso topped with orange-vanilla cold foam—for a creamy, citrusy jolt.
- Ice Cream & Sorbet: Naturally, ice cream makers are doubling down with swirls of orange sherbet and vanilla bean ice cream. Vegan versions made with coconut milk are especially popular.
- Baked Goods: Think orange-vanilla cupcakes, creamsicle macarons, or doughnuts filled with a citrus cream.
